Just goes to show that stats are misleading
Which League Two teams are the best at moving the ball into more dangerous areas of the pitch, and which teams are best at preventing the opposition from doing so? By using Expected Threat values, we can look at this!
Swindon (#stfc), #StockportCounty & Notts County (#Notts) have the highest xThreat values so far this season. Whereas Morecambe (#UTS), Harrogate (#ProudToBeTown) & #SuttonUnited have had the most difficulty in getting into more threatening positions on the field.
Defensively, #StockportCounty are the best side in the league at restricting their opponents from getting into dangerous areas, followed by Bradford (#BCAFC) & AFC Wimbledon (#afcw).
The teams that struggle the most to keep their opponents from getting into more dangerous areas are Tranmere (#trfc), Walsall (#saddlers) & Newport (#NCAFC).

How is it misleading? We would be very high on the threat side because we were chucking players forward, especially early on. I imagine it's less in recent weeks though. We are also middle of the road defensively, in terms of preventing threats, but we all see with our own eyes just how porous we are when that threat is made, so we concede more than we should on the pure states side.

Our defensive woes are not helped by us having WB's who are encouraged to get forward and 2 of 3 CB's who also want to get forward at every opportunity. There were a couple of times against Morecambe where I switched off for a moment or two talking to my mate, looked up and both UGM and FBT were on the edge of the Morecambe box leaving Brewitt with basically 2/3rds of the pitch to defend, when it works its great, but when it doesn't its a liability, I imagine for both Brewitt and the midfield its a balance of pleasure and nightmare! |

Misleading because it shows that being top of that particular stat does not translate into success. |

Even if the driver fucked up you would think the players and staff would realise when looking out of the window on the journey😁 |
